A Web service is dedicated for a business task, such as the booking of air ticket. Web service composition is to make use of existing heterogeneous services on the Web as components to achieve a business goal. By reusing the existing Web services, one can reduce the development time, and at the same time, increase the reliability of the service after composition. Our work is focused on verification and analysis of Web service composition. In recent years, many Web service composition languages have been proposed. There are two different viewpoints of these Web service composition languages, namely Web service choreography and Web service orchestration. Web service choreography describes collaboration protocols of cooperating Web service participants from a global view. Web service orchestration describes collaboration of the web services in predefined partners. In order to link these two different views, we present model-based methods for automatic analysis of Web service compositions. We verify whether designs from two different views are consistent or not, by refinement checking with specialized optimizations. If these two views not match, we also propose repair mechanism to address the problem. Subsequently, we focus on the verification of Web service composition from the perspective of Web service orchestration. A challenge to verify Web service composition is that, the highly concurrent nature of Web service orchestration has introduced the state-explosion problem to search-based verification methods like model checking. To address the stateexplosion problem, we present a new method, called Compositional Partial Order Reduc- CONTENTS vi tion (CPOR) for verification of Web service orchestration. CPOR aims to provide greater state-space reduction than classic partial order reduction methods in the context of hierarchical concurrent processes. Non-functional requirement, such as response time requirement, are important to Web service composition. To integrate non-functional requirements as part of the verification process, we further propose an automated approach to verify combined functional and nonfunctional requirements directly based on the semantics of web service composition. Model checking algorithms are developed to verify safety properties and liveness properties, in the forms of state reachability checking and Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) checking. Response time requirement is often provided as part of the service level agreement (SLA) by service provider. It is important for service provider to find a feasible set of component services to fulfill the response time requirement for composite service as promised. To address this problem, we propose a fully automated approach to synthesize the response time requirement for component services, given the response time requirement of composite service. Our approach is based on parameter synthesis techniques for real-time systems. The proposed methods have been implemented in a series of software tools, to provide verification and analysis support for Web service composition.

EVALUATION 114 Otherwise, it would notify the user regarding the failure of getting stock indexes. The resulting LTS has 15 states with 14 transitions, and it takes 0.0076 seconds for synthesizing the gLTC, and it takes 0.0078 seconds for synthesizing the sLTC for each state of the LTS. The gLTC for TBS after simplication is shown below. ((tFS < 1) ∧ ((tDS + tFS ) ≤ 3) ∧ (tDS ≤ 3)) ∨ ((tFS < 1) ∧ (tDS ≤ 2) ∧ ((tDS + tPS ) ≤ 2) ∧ (tPS ≤ 2)) ∨ ((tPS < 1) ∧ (tFS >1) ∧ ((tDS + tPS ) ≤ 2) ∧ (tDS ≤ 2)) ∨ ((tPS < 1) ∧ ((tDS + tFS ) ≤ 3) ∧ (tDS ≤ 2) ∧ (tFS ≤ 3) ∧ ((tDS + tPS ) ≤ 2)) 6.5.2 Computer Purchasing Services We consider in this section a computer purchasing service (CPS). The goal of a CPS (e.g., Dell.com) is to allow a user to purchase the computer system online using credit cards. Our CPS makes use of five component services, namely Shipper Service (SS), Logistic Service (LS), Inventory Service (IS), Manufacture Service (MS), and Billing Service (BS). The global time requirement of the CPS is to response within three seconds. The CPS starts upon receiving the purchase request from the client with credit card information, and the CPS spawns three workflows (viz., shipping workflow, inventory workflow, and billing workflow) concurrently. In the shipping workflow, the shipping service provider is invoked synchronously for the shipping service on computer systems. Upon receiving the reply, LS which is a service provided by internal logistic department is invoked synchronously to record the shipping schedule. In the manufacture workflow, IS is invoked synchronously to check for the availability of the goods. Subsequently, MS is invoked asynchronously to update the manufacture department regarding the current inventory stock. In the billing workflow, the billing service which is offered by third party merchant, is invoked synchronously for billing the customer with credit card information. The LTS of this system contains 121 states and 120 transitions. The time taken for the synthesis gLTC takes 0.0532 6.5. EVALUATION 115 seconds, and the time taken for the synthesis sLTC for each state of the LTS takes 0.0562 seconds. The gLTC for CPS is given below. ((tSS + tLS + tIS + tBS ) ≤ 3) ∧ (tSS ≤ 3) ∧ (tLS ≤ 3) ∧ (tIS ≤ 3) ∧ (tBS ≤ 3) Note that tMS does not appear in the local time constraint for CPS. The reason is that MS is invoked asynchronously without expecting a response; therefore its response time is irrelevant to the global time requirement of CPS. 6.5.3 Travel Booking Service The goal of a travel booking service (TBS) (such as Booking.com) is to provide a combined flight and hotel booking service by integrating two independent existing services. TBS provides an SLA for its subscribed users, saying that it must respond within five seconds upon request. The travel booking system has five component services, user validation service (VS), flight service (FS), backup flight service (FSbak ), hotel service (HS) and backup hotel service (HSbak ). Upon receiving the request from users, TBS spawns two workflows (viz., a flight request workflow, and a hotel request workflow) concurrently. In the flight request workflow, it starts by invoking FS, which is a service provided by a flight service booking agent. If service FS does not respond within two seconds, then FS is abandoned, and another backup flight service FSbak is invoked. If FSbak returns within one second, then the workflow is completed; otherwise it is considered as a failure for the flight request workflow. The hotel request workflow shares the same process as the flight request workflow, by replacing FS with HS and FSbak with HSbak . The resulting LTS has 562 states with 2387 transitions, and it takes 1.004 seconds for synthesizing the LTC and it takes 1.05 seconds for synthesizing the sLTC for each state in LTS respectively. The local time constraint for TBS is shown below. 6.6. RELATED WORK 116 ((tHSbak < 1) ∧ (tFSbak < 1) ∧ ((tFSbak + tHSbak ) ≤ 1)) ∨ ((tHSbak < 1) ∧ (tFS < 2)) ∨ ((tHS < 2) ∧ (tFSbak < 1)) ∨ ((tHS < 2) ∧ (tFS < 2)) ∨ ((tFSbak > 2tHSbak ) ∧ (tHSbak > 2tFSbak ) ∧ (tHSbak < 1) ∧ (tFSbak < 1)) 6.6 Related Work This work shares common techniques with work for constraint synthesis for scheduling problems. The use of models such as Parametric Timed Automata (PTA) [14] and Parametric Time Petri Nets (TPNs) [91] for solving such problems has received recent attention. In particular, in [30, 66, 47], parametric constraints are inferred, guaranteeing the feasibility of a schedule using PTAs with stopwatches. In [15], we extended the “inverse method” (see, e.g., [16]) to the synthesis of parameters in a parametric, timed extension of CSP. Although PTAs or TPNs might have been used to encode (part of) BPEL language, our work is specifically adapted and optimized for synthesizing local timing constraint in the area of service composition. The quantitative measure of the robustness of concurrent timed systems has been tackled in different papers (see [69] for a survey). However, most approaches consider a single dimension : transitions can usually be taken at most (before or after) units of time from their original firing time. This can be seen as a “ball” in |U| dimensions of radius . In contrast, our approach quantifies robustness for all parameter dimensions, in the form of a polyhedron in |U| dimensions. Our method is related to using LTS for analysis purpose in Web services. In [24], the author proposes an approach to obtain behavioral interfaces in the form of LTS of external services by decomposing the global interface specification. It also has been used in the model checking the safety and liveness properties of BPEL services. For example, Foster 6.6. RELATED WORK 117 et al. [42, 45] transform BPEL process into FSP, subsequently using a tool named as WSEngineer for checking safety and liveness properties. Simmonds et al. [81] proposes a user-guided recovery framework for Web services based on LTS. Our work uses LTS in synthesizing local time requirement dynamically. Our method is related to the finding of a suitable quality of service (QoS) for the system [97]. The authors of [97] propose two models for the QoS-based service composition problem [17] model the service composition problem as a mixed integer linear problem where constraints of global and local component serviced can be specified. The difference with our work is that, in their work, the local constraint has been specified, whereas for ours, the local constraints is to be synthesized. An approach of decomposing the global QoS to local QoS has been proposed in [8]. It uses the mixed integer programming (MIP) to find optimal decomposition of QoS constraint. However, the approach only concerns for simplistic sequential composition of Web services method call, without considering complex control flow and timing requirement. Our method is related to response time estimation. In [63], the authors propose to use linear regression method and a maximum likelihood technique for estimating the service demands of requests based on their response times. [70] has also discussed the impact of slow services on the overall response time on a transaction that use several services concurrently. Our work is focused on decomposing the global requirement to local requirement, which is orthogonal to these works. 6.6. RELATED WORK 118 Chapter Conclusion This chapter summarizes this thesis. We will conclude the thesis in Section 7.1 and discuss the on-going work and future directions in Section 7.2. 7.1 Summary In this thesis, we study the verification and analysis of web service composition. In the following, we briefly summarize our contributions of the thesis again. Firstly, we have proposed practical solutions to link two different views (choreography and orchestration) of Web services using model checking methods. We propose formal languages for modeling choreography and orchestration respectively with formal operational semantics, which create a unified semantics model for the two views, so that it allows communications between choreography and orchestration models. In addition, we propose a method to mechanically synthesize a prototype a Web service orchestration from the choreography, by repairing the choreography if necessary and projecting relevant behaviors to each service provider. 119 7.1. SUMMARY 120 Secondly, we provide functional verification for Orc programs. Orc is a hierarchical concurrent language that has highly concurrent semantics, and this has posed a challenge of state-explosion problem for its verification. To address this problem, we also proposed a new method, called Compositional Partial Order Reduction (CPOR), which aims to provide the reduction with a greater scale than current partial order reduction methods in the context of hierarchical concurrent processes. CPOR exploits the independency within local transitions. It applies POR recursively for the hierarchical concurrent processes, and several possible ample sets are composed in a bottom-up manner. It has been used in model checking Orc programs to verify the functional requirements of Web service composition. Experiment results show that CPOR provides significant state-reduction for Orc programs. Thirdly, we have illustrated our approach to verify combined functional and non-functional requirements (i.e., availability, response time and cost) for Web service composition. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first work on such integration. We capture the semantics of web service composition using labeled transition systems (LTSs) and verify the Web service composition directly without building intermediate or abstract models before applying verification approaches. For different kinds of non-functional requirements, we have proposed different aggregation functions. Furthermore, our experiment shows that our approach can work on real-world BPEL programs efficiently. Lastly, given the global time requirement, we propose an automated method for synthesizing the local time requirement for component services of a composite service. Our approach is based on the dynamic analysis of the LTS of a composite service by making use of parameterized timed techniques. 7.2. ONGOING AND FUTURE WORK 7.2 121 Ongoing and Future Work In Chapter we have illustrated a model-based method for fully automatic analysis of Web service composition, which offered a lightweight approach to tackle the synthesis problem. In future work, we plan to investigate state reduction methods that can be used to increase the efficiency of conformance checking. In Chapter 4, we have presented the verification of Orc program, and have proposed a state reduction method, called Compositional Partial Order Reduction (CPOR), to provide state-reduction for the verification of Orc program. As for future works, we would further evaluate CPOR by applying it for verifying programs in other languages that has hierarchical concurrent structure, such as CSP [52]. In Chapter 5, we have presented that our approach to verify combined functional and non-functional requirements for Web service composition can work on real-world BPEL programs efficiently. For future directions, we will consider various heuristics that could be used to reduce the number of states and transitions for effective verification. Another possible direction is to extend this work to other domains that share similar problems such as sensor network [98]. In Chapter 6, we have evaluated our technique for synthesizing the local time requirement for the component services of a composite service with real-world case studies. However, it is just the starting of this work. We plan to investigate the combination of our approach with other approaches such as the "inverse method" [15] to evaluate the possibility of synthesizing a better local time requirement.
